This Feel Good Friday is for Max! 🐾❤

Max presented to Anne Arundel Veterinary Emergency Clinic due to vomiting and being known to potentially ingest items he shouldn't. Initially Max went to his primary veterinarian where on radiographs, they found evidence of foreign material in his stomach.

Due to the timing of when Max arrived to AAVEC, our internal medicine team (Atlantic Veterinary Internal Medicine & Oncology), who usually perform endoscopies, had already gone home for the evening. However, recently some team members of AAVEC were trained on how to use endoscopy equipment (as seen in the photos) so Max had a chance of avoiding surgery!

After further investigation with the scope, Max had pieces of tennis balls removed! After a short stay, he went home feeling better.

Max has 'bounced' right back to normal according to his owners!

Heading off to the pool or beach this summer with your furry friend? Check out these water safety tips to make sure your pet has fun while staying safe. ☀️

🔹 Pick a shallow spot to start out and stay close to the edge of the water.
🔹 Don’t force them. Throwing a pet in the water who doesn’t want to swim can be traumatic and may prevent them from enjoying the water later on.
🔹 Get in the water with them. When they start paddling with their front paws, lift their hind end so they understand how to float.
🔹 Keep them on a leash at first so they can’t stray too far away from you.

🌡 Also, be sure to stay aware of the temperature! While swimming may cool you and your pet down, hot sand or pavement poses a threat to your pet's paws. If you can't hold the back of your hand to the ground for at least 10 seconds without feeling a burn, it's too hot for your pet to walk on!

If you experience an emergency with your pet this summer contact Anne Arundel Veterinary Emergency Clinic at 410-224-0331, we are open 24/7.

With us in the midst of summer, we want to make sure your pets are safe! Some things to remember are:

☑️ Know the symptoms of overheating in pets, which include excessive panting, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, drooling, seizures, bloody stool, and vomiting, to name a few.

☑️ NEVER leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle (Even with the window cracked! Studies have found that cracking the window has very little effect on the temp inside the car.)

☑️ Educate your family and friends about the risks of leaving their pets in the car so they can keep their animals safe as well!

Pool days are the best days! While a day at the pool should be fun and refreshing, we should always be prepared with these safety tips:

🐾 Limit access - Be sure to put a fence around a pool so your pet cannot fall in or jump in on their own.
🐾 Don’t let your pet drink chlorinated water - Always be sure to have fresh, clean water for your pets to keep them hydrated.
🐾 Keep an eye on pool toys - These toys are often choking hazards for pets.
🐾 Safely store pool chemicals - It is best to keep these chemicals out of reach.
🐾 Be aware - Pets can get overheated even when swimming. Always keep an eye on them and watch for any signs of this.
